    Answer: the faster train is travelling at 63.7 mph

    The slower train is travelling as 45 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distance = speed * time

    Speed = distance/time

    The two trains leave Tucson at the same time. In 6 hours, the faster train is 382 miles from Tucson. This means that the speed at which the faster train is travelling is

    382/6 = 63.7mph

    In 6 hours, both trains are 112 miles apart. This means that the distance covered by the slower train in 6 hours is

    382 - 112 = 270 miles

    Therefore, the speed at which the slower train is travelling is

    270/6 = 45 mph
